3. Blaine opened up the present and began pouting. He screamed in a high-pitched voice, "This is Captain Thunder! I
wanted Captain Lightning!" His mother looked at him with dismay and handed him another present, which he
greedily opened. "Why did you get me a red hat? You know I like blue more," Blaine whined as he threw the hat
across the room. His mother straightened her expression and squinted at him. Earlier she had hoped to take some
pictures of this moment, but by now she had put away her camera. She sighed and handed him one more present in
hopes that this year wouldn't be a total bust. Blaine huffed and opened it. "A Game Box 4000... Wow. Where's the
Game Box 5000 that I asked for?" His mother could bear his ingratitude no longer. The next time that Blaine returned
from his father's house, he was shocked to find that all of these toys and gifts, along with many other of his things,
had been generously donated to needy children.

Read the excerpt from chapter 10 of Animal Farm. There was, as Squealer was never tired of explaining, endless work in the supervision and organisation of the farm. Much of this work was of a kind that the other animals were too ignorant to understand. For example, Squealer told them that the pigs had to expend enormous labours every day upon mysterious things called "files," "reports," "minutes" and "memoranda." These were large sheets of paper which had to be closely covered with writing, and as soon as they were so covered, they were burnt in the furnace. This was of the highest importance for the welfare of the farm, Squealer said. Which part of this passage is an example of ridicule? The pigs create reports and then burn them. Squealer calls the other animals ignorant. The pigs work tirelessly to organize the farm. Squealer tells the animals about the farm’s organization.

Name the two boys that represent 'stolen childhood 'in the text of Lost spring? State the family background of each boy in the Lost spring?​

Answers

Answer:

The first boy mentioned in the chapter is Saheb-E-Alam. He was a rag-picker who lived in Seemapuri. His family had migrated from Dhaka, Bangla Desh to India in 1971 with the hope of finding better life conditions. Every morning he roamed about streets collecting garbage. Many other boys also accompanied him. His family lived in miserable conditions. He could not afford to go to school. He did not have even a pair of slippers to wear. He wished to play lawn tennis which was beyond his reach. He also found a job at a tea-stall where he ran various errands for the tea-stall owner. Though he earned rupees eight hundred monthly along with meals every day, yet he was not happy working there.

His rag-picking bag was lighter than the

canister. He was his own master; but now

he had to work under someone

------

The second boy mentioned in the chapter is Mukesh. His family lived in Firozabad. Mukesh's family was trapped in this vicious circle. In fact every family involved in the bangle making is trapped in a vicious circle of the shahukars, the middlemen, the policemen, the keepers of law, the bureaucrats and the politicians. Their evil nexus did not let them be free. Approximately 20,000 children worked in the glass furnaces with high temperatures, in dingy cells without air and light, often losing the brightness of their eyes. Thus the bangle-makers of Firozabad lived in a state of perpetual poverty and exploitation.

Please select the best answer from the choices provided
ОТ
OF

Answers

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

Presentation can be defined as an act of talking or speaking formally to an audience in order to explain an idea, piece of work, project, and product with the aid of multimedia resources or samples.

Basically, any speaker who wish to create an effective presentation should endeavor to interact frequently with the audience by holding a conversation.

This ultimately implies that, to create an effective presentation, speakers are saddled with the responsibility of interacting more often with the audience by taking questions, making a joke, getting them to repeat informations loud at intervals etc.

Additionally, speakers are advised to be passionate and show enthusiasm during their presentation because it would enhance their ability to speak confidently and as such leading to an engaging presentation.

Hence, instead of reading a speech, a presenter should have a conversation with the audience.

Read the excerpt from Hemingway’s A Farewell to Arms.

The major was a little man with upturned mustaches. He had been in the war in Libya and wore two wound-stripes. He said that if the thing went well he would see that I was decorated. I said I hoped it would go well but that he was too kind. I asked him if there was a big dugout where the drivers could stay and he sent a soldier to show me. I went with him and found the dugout, which was very good. The drivers were pleased with it and I left them there.

What effect does Hemingway’s limited use of adjectives have?
It slows down the narration by interrupting the action.
It makes the few descriptive words he does use more vivid and forceful.

COMMONLIT Address to Congress on Women suffrage

Answers

This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.

Read the Address to Congress on Women's Suffrage

By Carrie Chapman Catt

1917

PART A: What does the word “impregnable” mean as it is used in paragraph 2?

A. Difficult to defeat or break from

B. Prone to radical change

C. Focused on the welfare of its people

D. Set in its ways; comfortable

2. PART B: Which phrase provides the best support for the answer to Part A?

A. “of revolution, of rebellion”

B. "so securely entrenched”

C. “customs and traditions”

D. “human society”

Answer:

A. Difficult to defeat or break from

B. "so securely entrenched”

Explanation:

The word “impregnable” as used in this case refers to something being difficult to be captured or broken into. In this example, that word is used to describe the seemingly unbreakable subordination of the colonies before the American Revolution, which history has proven was only an obstacle plausible of being surpassed, just like woman suffrage is.

The breadth of a rectangular plot of a field is 100 m less than its length. if it's perimeter is 1400 m,find the area of the field?

Answers

Answer:

Length=400m

Breadth=300 m

Explanation:

Let the length be( x+100) and breadth be x

Now,

Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l+b)

or, 1400 m= 2(x+100m+x)

or, 1400m/2=2x+100m

or, 700 m-100m= 2x

or, 600m/2 = x

Therefore x= 300m

(x+100m)=300m + 100m = 400m
